I don’t think I’m behind in life?
Basically what the title says. I’d like to think that I’m not behind in my life, but sometimes I can’t help but just think, maybe I am?
So I recently turned 20, at times I find myself not being able to be proud of my accomplishments or give myself grace, I just can’t help but think maybe I’m not doing enough for my age. For example, I haven’t had my first actual job yet, which I’m not sure if that’s seen as embarrassing or weird or maybe normal. I also don’t have my drivers licence, I only have my permit.
What I have been doing though is, is attending university, however my degree remains undecided as I have no clue what I want to do yet. I am currently in a one year program which allows students to register for any class without them being required or related to one another, so I basically get to explore my options which is great!
I also am now volunteering at the hospital, as a gallery host, greeting guests and soon am planning on moving to the gift shop and volunteer as a cashier, which is great experience, even though I suck with money haha, but I recognize that it’s a great opportunity for me to improve in this area.
Anyhow I just want some opinions or advice/thoughts? Anything would be greatly appreciated!
Ps- Assuming some may ask why I don’t have a job or haven’t had a job before, I have been applying to a variety of jobs for the past year and I am still doing so. Unfortunately the job market is awful which I’m sure many of you know already. So it’s not like I don’t want a job, I have been trying my best to get one, it’s just very difficult.
